Things to Consider

I had a realization the other day. Sometimes I stress myself so much with everything going on in my life that I lose track of the most important element of life and that is to live. It’s so easy to find yourself so focused on the future and getting to where you want to be, that you forget to enjoy the present. When I think of this a particular movie quote comes to mind. It goes something like this, “it does not due to dwell on dreams and forget to live.” These are the wise words of Harry Potter’s head master Albus Dumbledore. When he spoke these words to young Harry, he was looking into a mirror. A mirror that would reflect the deepest desires of your heart. He stated that men would waste there life away standing in front of the mirror, even driving themselves mad trying to attain what they couldn’t have. It’s interesting to me that many times this is true. We as people are so focused on our future, so driven by trying to get what we want, we many times forget to enjoy what we have. So here’s something to consider. We don’t have a future without a past. And today, is just yesterdays future, isn’t it?
